Michael Irvin believes Greg Hardy can become a 2015 Charles Haley

Michael Irvin thinks Greg Hardy can do for the Dallas Cowboys what Charles Haley did for the storied franchise back in the 1990s.

After joining Dallas following a successful six-year stint with the San Francisco 49ers, Haley helped Dallas win three Super Bowls, racking up 33 sacks between 1992-95.

Speaking with reporters at Cowboys camp in Oxnard, Ca. on Monday, Irvin expressed enthusiasm about the addition of Hardy, who he believes will have a big impact on the success of his former team.

Regardless of his off-field problems, which many believe should preclude him from playing in the NFL, there is no doubt Hardy is a phenomenally talented pass-rusher.
